almost uploaded this to the lemonade stand listing before I realized it could probably be construed as an actionable threat. that was close lol

Disaster is a bit unfair. It’s a bloated dinosaur for sure, but it is an important piece of computing history and it’s got some neat tricks.

Windows is a fine operating system. The NT kernel is pretty good, all things considered, and the design and UX of XP, Vista, and 7 were overall pretty peak. The main problem with Windows is and always has been Microsoft. Expose KDE for lyfe.

I’m curious about your power budget. Does that include appliances like water heater, fridge, etc? Or is it just for smart devices?

I’m really impressed by your efficiency. My router alone draws over half your budget. Add the cable modem and a 5GbE switch and that takes me 50% overbudget. And that’s just network infrastructure. With everything else in my apartment I’m probably somewhere around 800w, pessimistically.

Turns out Rosie worked for the NSA the entire time

I tend to be fairly sensitive, and I haven’t been very successful in quieting my own kneejerk defensiveness when “yes all men” and “male tears” come out. A lot of feminists are justifiably angry but I don’t have to stay in a room where I don’t feel welcome.

So I tend not to label myself a feminist even though I agree with feminists on most things. I vote for feminist candidates, I’ll defend feminism when people tell lies about it, but I can’t be a feminist myself because I can’t participate in it.

Have a kid at 25 -> kid has kid at 25

I do not see the problem. You could bump both of those down to 20 and she’d have a 10y/o grandkid. Multiple grandkids even.

E: Aside from all that, teen pregnancy happens, and while it’s not ideal it also doesn’t make the mother some kind of untouchable pariah.

That’s a great observation —the sycophantic nature of ChatGPT can be really offputting when you’re not used to the way the AI writes. Would you like:

• tips and tricks on using ChatGPT?
• advice on creating your own GPT prompt?
• suggestions on less sycophantic AI chatbots?

I’m here to help. Just let me kn

can’t do it anymore the bit isnt worth it ew ew ew

It works well, until it doesn’t. That first part lulls people into complacency. I rented a Kia last year that had automatic cruise control and lane keep assist and it kept me on the road far past when I should have pulled over and taken a nap from being sleep deprived after a redeye flight. Dangerous? Yes. Skill issue? Maybe. What I took away from the experience is that it is frighteningly easy to get used to a thing “just working” and forget about its limitations when it is convenient. I also learned that I do not want lane keep assist or automatic cruise control in my personal car.

fantastic, now they can tell which specific parts of the jeep ad get my blood pumping

Ah yeah I got that and then kinda lost scope reading the reply. Non sequitur for a non sequitur.

Sure, but in the case of an accident that footage is ammunition. Maybe the other party was eating a four course dinner and cranking their hog, but unless they had an interior camera too you can’t prove a thing. These cameras seem like they would be a disadvantage in court no matter what.

I’ve never bought (and probably will never buy) anything from Temu because they sell a lot of cheap crap, but I’ve gotta say I find their business model fascinating.
